The Champions League draw broke out a big farce and needed to be re-drawn, and Manchester United can be said to be the most unfortunate team among them, winning Paris Saint-Germain in the first draw; when re-drawing to "get out of trouble", they drew another "hard bone" Atletico Madrid. For Manchester United, Atletico Madrid is indeed a more difficult opponent than Paris Saint-Germain.
Speaking of Paris Saint-Germain, although Paris is full of stars, the configuration of the top five forwards in the front court (Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, Di Maria, Mauro Icardi) is enough to make any European team envious; but their squad structure is not very even. The team is neatly manned, but the players who are not willing to participate in the three-star "MNM" combination in front of them are in stark contrast to Manchester United, who are currently playing and rushing football. Under the rare participation of three stars in the front, Paris Saint-Germain's midfield pressure and load are considerable, disguised so that Manchester United will also have more room to attack, which should be a little "restrained" in style.
Atletico Madrid's european results in recent years have indeed been mediocre, and the past two seasons of European competitions have also been defeated by Chelsea and Liverpool under the two European champions; in the last season, they were not very convincing in the game against Chelsea, and they were still scored by Chelsea several times under the full field; the same is true in the face of profits. Atletico Madrid seems to have lost the iron-blooded defense they once prided themselves on; the defensive line led by José Jimenez and Stefan Savage is a huge gap compared to Godin's time.
However, the reason why Atletico Madrid will incur four defeats is also because the state and tactical execution of the red and blue armies are too strong, under the leadership of the two German coaches, both armies have played at the highest level in recent years. Chelsea are the defending Champions League champions; Liverpool are also the kings of Europe in the 2018-19 season, and Atletico Madrid's defeat at the hands of the two giants is also not disgraceful.
And compared to the wide open Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid is Mingmai Ming selling a low-post defense to play "underdog" football kick counterattack, to break atletico Madrid's dense defense is not an easy task; just "breaking the dense" is a major weakness of Manchester United. After Lonnick took office, the team has improved in terms of pressing and running, but creativity and offensive moves are still the same, and it is difficult to bring too much test to atletico Madrid's defense with crosses on both sides and the personal ability of veteran C Ronaldo.
So a replay of Atletico Madrid is not a good thing for United, and Longnick will have to solve The Manchester United's impatience on the offensive end as soon as possible this month.
